Step 1

To make the marinade, combine the yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, lemon juice, parsley, salt ,and pepper in a bowl. Stir well.

Step 2

Use a cheese grater or zester to scrape a thin layer of lemon zest from half the lemon. Add lemon zest to the bowl of marinade ingredients.

Step 3

Grab a gallon sized Ziplock bag and add the chicken pieces and marinade to the bag. Move each piece around to ensure all are well coated.

Step 4

Refrigerate the the meat in the marinade for at least 6 hours. Expert Tip: I like to marinate it overnight. The longer the marinade, the more flavorful!

Step 5

After marinating, you can choose to grill the chicken on an outdoor grill,oven grill, or bake it in the oven. If you bake it in the oven, preheat oven to 350°F and bake for the breasts for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.If you choose to grill, do so for 25-30 minutes or until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Step 6

Top with fresh grated lemon zest and serve immediately.
